Imagine a time, when it all began. In the dying days of a war
A weapon - that would settle the score
Whoever found it first. Would be sure to do their worst They always had before...
Imagine a man where it all began. A scientist pacing the floor
In each nation - always eager to explore
To build the best big stick. To turn the winning trick But this was something more...
The big bang - took and shook the world
Shot down the rising sun. The end was begun - it would hit everyone
When the chain reaction was done
The big shots - try to hold it back. Fools try to wish it away
The hopeful depend on a world without end.
Whatever the hopeless may say
Imagine a place where it all began. They gathered from across the land
To work in the secrecy of the desert sand. All of the brightest boys
To play with the biggest toys - More than they bargained for...
Imagine a man when it all began. The pilot of "Enola Gay"
Flying out of the shockwave on that August day
All the powers that be, and the course of history,
Would be changed for evermore...
No one likes us-I don't know why. We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we
try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens
We give them money-but are they grateful? No, they're spiteful and they're
hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them.
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them
Asia's crowded and Europe's too old. Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold. And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one. There'll be no one left to blame us
We'll save Australia. Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there. They got surfin', too
Boom goes London and boom Paree. More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round. Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be. We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono. And there'll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?. Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone? Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone? Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone for young men everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone? Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone? Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone? Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone? Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone? Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone? Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, everyone
When will they ever learn?
